I think what Matwey was suggesting is integrating your "bootefi" into
the standard "distro" boot sequence environment, so that it probes each
device for an EFI binary and if it finds one runs load and bootefi,
without the need for any boot.scr.

That would be a follow-up patch.

It however conflicts with your idea of having some potentially
board-specific code mess with "fdt addr" command before running "bootefi".

My solution would be to give boot.scr preference over *.efi, so that the
user has a way to load dtb and run "bootefi" on his own, and otherwise
fall back to just "bootefi" which'll spit a warning about lack of fdt if
I read that correctly.

Cheers,
Andreas
